Shake, Shake, Shake

Mike is still shaking from the latest job of our landscaping plan. We rented a sod cutter this weekend. For those of you who have never seen or used one they shake violently in order to slice the sod in a nice straight line. Poor Mike. He has not stopped feeling that vibrating sensation! We got all of the grass cut with the cutter and took several truck loads of grass away. It has been a lot of work. Grass is heavy. It is fun actually seeing the shape of the beds and getting a vision of the end result, rather than a mess of half taken out grass everywhere. Thanks to Mike's mom and step-dad for letting us borrow their truck, and to my mom for watching Hayden so we could work faster. I suppose Mike and I can't take all of the credit as far as the labor goes either. I found some guys, Butch, Bobby, and a guy with long hair, off of Craig's List, who wanted work. They were cheap. So cheap that we felt bad, so even with paying them more that they asked for we got a lot of work done from them for a really good price! Thanks Butch, Bobby and long hair guy!
